Speaking of the fox demon on Licheng Street, we have to talk about forty years ago.

Forty years ago, Licheng Street was bustling. On the edge of the ancestral house of the Nie Mansion was the family of the second old lady of the Nie family who lived at that time.

The second old lady was hindered by the heirs, and a lot of concubines were accepted. But at the age of thirty, he had a daughter. Raised like a jewel. Why don't the heavens have mercy, the girl grew up to be fourteen or fifteen years old, like a flower and jade, and got a bad disease.

The old couple was so sad that they were sick for a month, and they didn't go out of the house all day, and they didn't let anyone visit.

Suddenly, one day, a relative of the second old lady's maiden family came to defect. It was originally the elder son of my sister, and my sister married a family of Xinglin who has been a doctor for generations. It's easy to come up with such a talented descendant and pass the exam.

The younger sister specially arranged for her son to enter Beijing in advance and live at his aunt's house. I should prepare for the exam so that I can be named on the gold list.

The old couple didn't have a reason to turn people away, so they opened the door and welcomed their nephew in. I can't help but like it. I specially cleaned up the quietest courtyard in the house for my nephew to live in. The child only knew how to read poetry and books all day, and did not go out. It makes the old couple very worry-free.

The scholar lived at home for more than a year, and then it was time for the imperial examination. Unfortunately, his name has fallen to Sun Shan.

Of course, it is normal to lift people at a young age and miss once. The old couple didn't take this matter seriously, it was a big deal, just leave him at home for three more years and then take the exam.

What is surprising is that this scholar deliberately ran to kneel down in front of the old couple and proposed to the old couple. Say that although you miss once, you may not have another chance. I hope that my uncle and aunt will fulfill his love for his cousin. Don't dislike him.

The daughter died of illness before the nephew came, how can the nephew talk about love? How can the old couple stand this fright?

In a hurry, the old couple discussed sending their nephew home, but they refused to leave the book despite their life and death. made a lot of noise, saying that his uncle's family hated the poor and loved the rich, and even he couldn't look down on him as a lifter, so he didn't know what kind of high branches he had to climb.

The old couple hurriedly reported to their sister-in-law's family, claiming that their nephew had fallen into hysteria.

The second old lady's sister-in-law is also in her forties, and she hurried to Changping for her son. appeased his son, and only found out when he asked. As soon as the son moved into his uncle's house, he saw a beautiful woman appear in the courtyard with a lantern that night. The woman claimed that she had dropped something here during the day, and she didn't know that the yard was already inhabited, so she took the liberty of it. He also specifically begged him not to tell others.

Because this scholar is a nerd, she only thinks she is the precious daughter of her aunt's family. And he didn't hear anything outside the window, so he didn't know that his cousin had already left.

Seeing that his cousin had not found the lost property, the scholar looked forward to his cousin's return for a few days. So I read hard every night, waiting for my cousin to appear. My cousin came a few more times, and came and went. A young talent, a young and beautiful. The two developed a crush on each other.

That's why he has been reading hard under the lamp for the past year, and she has been grinding ink on the side. The scholar was looking forward to proposing to his uncle after the title of the gold list, but before the scientific examination, his cousin cried and told him that the family had promised her a family. I'm afraid the two are inseparable.

The scholar was furious, and repeatedly assured his cousin that he would definitely be named on the gold list. But beg my cousin to rest assured.

Since then, the scholar has worked harder, and his cousin, perhaps in order not to disturb him, has not appeared since. After hearing this, the scholar's mother cried and said, "My son... You've been tricky!"

The scholar's mother believes that the female ghost first pretended to coax the scholar to fall in love with her, and then deliberately told the scholar when he was about to end that she had a marriage contract. In order to disturb the scholar's thoughts, so that he could not get into the jinshi...

"It's too much! Obviously, the scholar himself failed to pass the Jinshi, how can he blame the female ghost?" Zhou Qiaoqiao was filled with indignation.

Nie Xiaofan asked, "Didn't the old fish head just say that the fox demon, how did he become a female ghost?"

Nie Xiaoyue felt sorry for the pair of lovers: "Regardless of the fox demon and the ghost, it's pitiful that they can't be together..."

The old fish head hurriedly said: "The old slave is rude, he shouldn't tell this story in front of the girls..."

Zhou Qiaoqiao stomped on the door frame: "Don't pretend to be serious, do you still talk less? Say it quickly, what about later?"

"Later," said the old fish head slowly.

Later, the news that the daughter of the second old lady's family who died early came out to make trouble spread, and everyone said that she hooked the soul of the scholar and delayed the scholar's life. The big guy discussed going to the second old lady's house to catch ghosts, but the old couple insisted that their daughter would not become a ghost and harm people. It's just that it's just a fox demon.

The second old lady invited a Taoist priest to come, and it is said that he cut off a tail of the fox demon and showed it to everyone. Only then did everyone believe that this was a fox demon who came out to harm people. With the Taoist priest a sum of money, the Taoist priest drove the fox demon away.

And the scholar was full of poetry and books, so naturally he didn't believe in ghosts and gods... He thought that since that person was not a cousin, there must be someone else, and I only loved her as a person, and I didn't care about her identity. Or she is a girl who boils water, and a miscellaneous handyman, I also admit it. So he insisted on finding the woman.

The elders were annoyed by him and said that he had hysteria. So the scholar thought that the elders did not want her to marry this woman, and deliberately made this trick him.

The old fishhead suddenly stopped talking about this.

Nie Xiaoyue was curious: "What's next?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao also urged: "Old fish head, hurry up!"

The old fish head said: "What the old slave is going to talk about next, the girls may not like to listen." ā€

Zhou Qiaoqiao said: "Say it quickly, this girl wants to see what kind of demon can scare the people on the street to move away." ā€

The old fish head said: "This is none of the demon's business. Later, the scholar went to report to the official, only asking the people in the government to help him find the woman he loved. ā€

Nie Xiaoyue said: "This scholar is also affectionate and righteous, and he is unwilling to give up no matter what. ā€

Outside the car, there was the sound of the old fish's head throwing a horsewhip. "At that time, the head of the Changping County Ya was the current old lady Nie, that is, your grandfather..."

Nie Xiaofan instantly understood what the old fish head meant by not liking to listen. Could it be that Old Lady Nie did the thing of beating mandarin ducks with a stick back then?

The old fish head said slowly: "Master Nie beat the scholar and threw him out of the county office. said that the scholar clearly saw that his second uncle's family had no son, so he lied that he was in love with his dead daughter, and wanted to defraud money..."

The scholar fell seriously ill after being thrown out of the county office, and kept shouting: "Demon... Demon...", so everyone believed that he had hit the demon!

"What a bastard!" Zhou Qiaoqiao scolded, the scholar has a solid family background, and he is a son. With his nose, he knew he wouldn't do such a thing. Nie Xiaofan and Nie Xiaoyue looked at her in unison.

"I mean the scholar who has bad intentions...", Zhou Qiaoqiao hurriedly changed his words.

Old lady Nie has passed away, and right or wrong is not something for their juniors to discuss. Nie Xiaofan asked the old fish head: "Do you know about the residents of Licheng Street moving away?"

The old fish head didn't speak, and only the sound of him waving his horsewhip could be heard outside.

After a while, the carriage stopped: "Girl, it's home." The old fish head said.
